Tubular Gallery Conveyors
Tubular conveyor galleries, also known as air supported belt conveyors, are a large, elevated tubular structure built to enclose a troughed conveyor system. This structure is typically at least 3 feet in diameter and will be used to pass over highways or rivers. Cement, fuel, grain, and coal are all common materials used with a tubular belt conveyor, as the design isolates the product from its environment. As such, power, construction, agriculture and ship loading are all industries that often use tubular galleries to transport their materials.

Tubular Conveyor Galleries vs Truss Conveyors
Tubular galleries are much more complete assemblies, sometimes featuring water and air piping, as well as venting and lights. Tubular gallery conveyors are also usually built and assembled before being shipped to the site in complete sections, reducing the time, labor and cost that it takes to get the tubular belt conveyor up and running. In addition to saving time and money, tubular belt conveyors are more durable and less susceptible to corrosion than truss conveyors.
